As the four-day royal tour of Egypt and Jordan ends, our royal correspondent reflects on its impact.
In Jordan, one British diplomat's eyes lit up when mentioning the trip just completed.
The prince, says the diplomat, shows Jordan - a country right on the frontline of climate change, with terrible water shortages, but the capacity to be a player in sustainable energy - that the UK cares. And what might look to some like a group of the great and the good having a self-satisfied hob-nob with the prince is also a chance to bring together private money and public officials, the can-do of industry and the ideas of academia.The prince's presence in this region at this moment, before the dust has even settled from COP26, was not coincidental. Egypt will host the next climate change conference, in 2022.
"He's a force multiplier," says the senior regional diplomat, "but he's also a really practical man."Watch Prince Charles call for actions on climate change for the "future of humanity and nature"
